The play-by-play description of one particularly moment from Monday’s Royals game certainly didn’t tell the whole story.

“Mikie Mahtook flies out to left fielder Alex Gordon.”

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Royals had a 5-0 lead when Detroit got two runners on with two outs. The Tigers’ Mahtook launched a Jakob Junis pitch to deep left field. It seemed destined to clear the fence, but Gordon intervened.
